Vintage Wedgwood & Co Ltd dinner service items - 1953/1954. You can check their potteries.org page to learn more about the back stamps - http://www.thepotteries.org/mark/w/wedgwoodandco.html. You can see on the back stamps which month/year the pieces were made. All the plates are dated 1953. The two meat dishes are dated 1954. The tureen is not dated but the back stamp dates from 1952+.
The tureen is specially lovely, with the Art Deco style handles and finial to the lid.
Most pieces (except the largest meat dish and one plate) are in great condition for their age - no cracks, just some crazing. Very little fading to the gilding.
One plate has more pronounced crazing. The largest meat dish is showing its age - please check the photograph. The serving surface is crazed and darker, with a non-functional crack which is more visible from the back.
